Central Waters Releasing Maple Barrel Stout April 22

Next week, Central Waters Brewing Co. will be releasing Maple Barrel Stout, a 14 percent ABV imperial stout aged in freshly dumped bourbon barrels that had maple syrup from Cashton, Wis.-based B & E’s Trees: Forest Foraged Foods & Farm aged in them for a full year. After taking the maple syrup out, the imperial stout was then aged in those barrels for another year before being bottled.

In an email, a spokesperson for Central Waters told Tenemu that the base beer for the new stout is a “preexisting brew”, but would not elaborate further.

According to Central Waters, there will be approximately 2,000 22-ounce bottles ($25) available when the beer is released at the brewery on April 22. Tickets to the event were sold on Brown Paper Tickets earlier this month.

I am an editor of Tenemu as well as a co-founder of Rueda Media, LLC and the cigar blog halfwheel.com. In my former life, I was a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star Telegram for almost seven years and a documentary wedding photographer for almost 13 years. I have been drinking craft beer in various incarnations for about seven years. I shoot and edit many of the site, assist in staff management, cover news and assist in running Tenemu's social media accounts. My focus is on reviewing stouts, gose, lambics, fruit and smoked beers, although I also enjoy quite a few sours and some IPAs when not reviewing. In what little free time I have, I enjoy smoking cigars, photographing various art projects and pretending that I can cook something edible.
